[32][written/action]

[silversnowfall]

I'm going to be out of the house for a while. I should be back before it gets too late.

[Nephry set out rather early this morning, actually, headed for the small lake. She's spent a good amount of time being sure that what she's doing is safe and isn't going to result in anything unpleasant. After she's sure of all that, and checks to see if anyone's nearby, she leaves the journal on a cleared spot near the edge of the lake and, slowly at first because it's been a while, heads away on a pair of ice skates]

[[ooc: this is what they do for fun in Keterburg. Feel free to find her, or reply written - she'll reply 'before' the action part happens]]

[After a few minutes, his skates are finally on. He steps into the ice and almost falls, a bit wobbly as he gets the hang of ice skating again. He's out of practice.]

[comes over fast enough to catch his elbow and help him balance]

It seems you're a little rusty.

[Well, this is embarrassing.]

I don't get much practice in Grand Chokmah.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I imagine not.

Don't fall too hard.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

I'll try not to.

[satisfied for now, she lets go of his arm and heads across the lake]

[He skates around in small circles before heading in her direction.]

[she doesn't really know how to do anything fancy, though she might have once - governing doesn't leave a lot of room for recreation. So she'll just go on going in circles]

[Let's see, what to talk about that doesn't include Valentine's...]

Ice skating is one of the perks of winter, if you ask me.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I agree. Though I admit I had forgotten about it until I saw skates in the shops.

[He grabs her hand to twirl her around.]

I've almost forgotten how fun it is.

[barely keeps her balance at that]

Please...warn me next time, Your Majesty.

It's better when there's an element of surprise.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

And yet you expressed so much concern when I fell.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

This time is different. I'm prepared to catch you now.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

You can barely keep your own balance.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

I'll manage.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I'm sure you will.

[still, she'll try to keep at enough of a distance that he can't try something that will land them both on the ice]

[He's just going to skate around her, keeping up a steady stream of conversation as he does.]
